As already mentioned, it is a small parlor size similar to the forms of Martin 1-18. Mine, the sides are also curly maple, the table is of spruce (which I do not know the provenance, but probably a sitka seen the light wood) its veining is supernatural, fine transverse lines describing evidence of a flow important of resin and wood quality. The folds are vertical when looking at the edge of the rosette. The neck is mahogany (it's not settle well with the Mapple and it is beautiful) and a touch of ebony reported. It is ultra comfortable, and rarely allows himself to play as I had the opportunity. Note that the strings are wide apart at the bridge (to facilitate the finger at games) like the old parlor martin. The mechanical conventional oil bath, the head is restrained (logo Larivée is not great but good) the bridge is also ebony and bone nut (note that the pieces of wood blocks are decorated with strings of abalone , as the rose, for Euro 1300 is science fiction.

UTILIZATION

It is a real gem of ergonomics, the handle is a delight, he played himself. Surprisingly all the fingers that pick. Well it's a parlor is small small ... it's lightweight in the hand like

SOUNDS

Personally I also have a Martin D40 and D35, my Larivee is (and I mean it) to millions of kilometers of the legendary big guitars, far ... far ahead and trying hundreds of folks in my life , have recorded a significant number, here we are facing a single instrument. The highs are great, super open with a kind of resonance slender which makes them different, they are accurate and incisive. Mediums are also present, articulated and do not stifle beautiful beautiful bass (naturally enough given the size of discrete, though ..). This guitar is very balanced and expressive rare, it is played high, gently, with fingers like to pick, play lead on to the Richard Thompson, the rhythms are angular, it has everything qui'on expected of a guitar, I love it!
